The ASR-2 feature tries to restart the server up to 10 times. If the ASR-2
feature cannot restart the server within the 10 attempts, ASR-2 places a
critical error in the Critical Error Log, starts the server into the Compaq
Utilities, and enables remote access if configured for remote access. If the
server cannot
start into the Compaq Utilities, then ASR-2 automatically invokes the
ROM-based diagnostics.
To use this level of ASR-2, you need to configure ASR-2 to load the operating
system after restart.
Attended Recovery
For attended recovery, ASR-2 logs the error information to the Critical Error
Log, resets the server, pages you (if a modem is present and you selected
Paging), starts the Compaq Utilities from the hard drive, and enables remote
access. These utilities are placed on the system utilities partition on the hard
drive during system configuration. If you have configured for dial in access
and have a modem with an auto-answer feature installed, you can dial in and
remotely diagnose or reconfigure the server. If you have configured the
Compaq Utilities for network access, then you can access the utilities over the
network. You can use Insight Manager for dial-in or network access.
Hardware Requirements
To use this Level of ASR-2 over a modem, you need the following:
Compaq System Configuration Utility and Diagnostics Utility installed
on the system partition of the hard drive
ASR-2 configured to load the Compaq Utilities after restart
Compaq modem or optional Hayes-compatible modem
You may also run Compaq Utilities remotely over an IPX or IP network using
the Network feature.
